Friendly, affordable Cedar Lodge is the family choice for accommodations nearest Yosemite Valley
(on SR 140, 8 miles from the Park).
Whimsical carved bears are found throughout the Cedar Lodge property, and children enjoy hunting for them using the Kid’s Guide to Cedar Lodge provided at the front desk.
The Cedar Lodge has indoor and outdoor swimming pools and spas, picnic tables, a river walk with gazebos, and a private sandy beach on the wild and scenic Merced River. This is a great spot from which to watch rafts pass on whitewater trips in spring and early summer.
The lodge’s large multi-use reception and meeting room is one of the Yosemite area’s largest wedding reception sites. Two restaurants and a bar are on site.
